The View Slot Occupancy Report allows you to view empty and occupied slot details of all enclosures and back planes. It provides a
diagram that represents the occupancy of physical drive slots. Move the mouse over each slot to view details, such as physical disk ID,
state, and size.
Dynamic mapping of empty MX5016s will not be reflected on the drive.
NOTE: You cannot view the Enclosure name in the slot occupancy report immediately after MX5016s insertion. Once the
insertion is done, you can view it after a duration of 10 to 15 minutes or immediately after services restart.
Viewing Physical Disk Firmware Version Report
NOTE: This option is not supported on PERC hardware controllers running in HBA mode.
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features
The Physical Disk Firmware Version Report compares the current firmware against a list of currently available firmware and legacy driver
models.
NOTE: To generate the HDD firmware version report, negotiable speed and the model number of the drives are used as
keys for indexing entries in the hddfwver.csv file. If the negotiable speed of the drive is not available from the
controller, then the model number of the drive is used as the key for indexing entries in the hddfwver.csv file.
You can run the report on each controller basis or for the storage system.
For each controller report, click Storage > Controller > Information/Configuration > Available Reports > View Physical Disk
Firmware Version Report > Execute.
For a storage system report, select Storage > Information/Configuration > Global Tasks > View Physical Disk Firmware Version
Report > Execute.
If you do not have the latest compare file (hddfwver.csv), contact your service provider to download the latest compare file. Replace the
existing hddfwver.csv file with the new file at the following location:
On systems running Windows:
C:\<Program Files (x86)>\Dell\SysMgt\sm
where C:\Program files may vary based on the system.
On systems running Linux:
/opt/dell/srvadmin/etc/srvadmin-storage/hddfwver.csv
On systems running ESXi:
/etc/cim/dell/srvadmin/srvadmin-storage/hddfwver.csv
If the existing firmware(s) for all physical disks is the latest, the following message is displayed:
There are no physical disks available that require firmware update.

Controller 1: Connector 0: Slot 4
Two-digit mapping: 0:1 = Connector 1: Enclosure 0 Three-digit mapping: 1:0:4 =
